1. Lieberbutt only 42?
and George Allen and Cindy Sheehan 32 and 31 respectively? But, you have to give them credit - Bush at #3 and McCain at #1...
"In reality, McCain is as phony as slimeballs come, having reversed his positions on Roe v. Wade, Bush’s tax cuts, the gay marriage amendment and Jerry Falwell in the last year alone, while the mainstream press looked away and whistled nonchalantly. Keeps changing the number of additional troops he thinks should be sent to Iraq, in hopes of extending the disaster beyond the next presidential election, so his decorated veteran status will still be relevant." - hopefully that can be an excellent talking point for 08.

3. I loved their opening sentence on limpballs:
It’s hard to believe this repulsive shit fountain is even human, until you remember that we share 70% of our DNA with pigs.

6. Naughty, naughty on Pelosi
"Hasn’t debated an opponent in twenty years. A true Democrat, Pelosi literally has no balls."

Cindy Sheehan doesn't fare any better. Then again, neither does Jesus Christ and John McCain.

9. I also have to take exception for Jesus and Pelosi. Jesus tried
to do good; he just currently has too much evil to counteract. Pelosi may yet come through for impeachment, and she couldn't count on winning the House if it looked like her goal was the presidency.

13. Ryan Seacrest isn't on Extreme Makeover
Ryan Seacrest isn't on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. That's Ty Pennington.

How loathsome is a person, really, if you don't even know what they did to earn the title? :dunce:

17. McCain got first? I'm surprised but not shocked!
I knew it would be between 4 evil assholes - McCain, Cheney (I was personally disappointed by dick), Lieberman (Joe spells disappointment) and George (no brainer). Awesome list. :thumbsup:

18. 4. Mark Foley
Charges: In a year filthy with miscreants masquerading as moral authority, the former Congressman’s well publicized sexual advances toward clearly freaked out underage male pages still stood out like an erection in sweatpants . . .

were male? NICE. I mean, it's good that this element of Foley's disgusting, criminal history "scandal" was finally mentioned again somewhere.

21. Those were pretty good
There were a couple I disagreed with, and some I would have mixed up the number rankings of, but overall- a very entertaining, mean, and funny article. I remember enjoying their '05 list as well.

One thing that may be an error, though. On #2, for Richard Mellon Scaife, they say he was a contributor to "The American Prospect" which I find a little hard to believe. Maybe they meant the "National Review" or a similar rag. The "Prospect" isn't quite as liberal as, say, "The Nation" but I don't think Scaife would touch them with a ten foot pole.

26. LOLOL!!!!! ... 24. Glenn Beck
:rofl:

"Charges: If the dumbing down of political commentary continues along this trajectory, the next pundit to make the grade will be a hyena. Even the leather-winged shouting heads at Fox News look like intellectual giants next to this bleating, benighted Cassandra. It’s like someone found a manic, doom-prophesying hobo in a sandwich board, shaved him, shot him full of Zoloft and gave him a show. What makes Beck special, aside from appearing to have derived his entire geopolitical outlook from a five-minute segment about Iran on "The 700 Club," is the folksy "golly gee" manner in which he accuses his guests of collaborating with terrorists. At least Hannity and O’Reilly have the decency to act like bellicose pricks when they’re engaging in breathtaking cheap shots.

Exhibit A: "When I see a 9/11 victim family on television, or whatever, I’m just like, ‘Oh shut up!’ I’m so sick of them because they’re always complaining."

Sentence: Stripped bare, trussed like a turkey and airdropped into Waziristan with an apple in his mouth and an American flag in his ass."


I'd PAY to see that! :D

Liked a lot of this! Thought they were a little rough on Cindy Sheehan and Nancy Pelosi, but whatever. The top ten were worth their weight in Beasts.

33. Ann Coulter -- Holy Shit!
Edited on Thu Jan-18-07 09:41 PM by BushDespiser12


26. Ann Coulter

Charges: It was a run of the mill year for Ann: openly calling for the murder of a Supreme Court justice and the entire staff of the New York Times, accusing 9/11 widows of "enjoying their husband’s deaths" and Bill Clinton of being a rapist. Coulter’s neck gained an amazing 3 vertical inches in 2006; inside sources attribute this to a strict regimen of deep-throating Satan’s scaly cock. It’s projected that by 2010 Coulter will be able to plagiarize the Illinois Right to Life Committee website more deftly than she did in this year’s ode to mindless intolerance of tolerance, Godless, simply by snaking her grotesque head-ladder through the ventilation ducts of their office and skulking away with their webmaster’s hard drive clenched firmly in her masculine jaw. Ann’s slipping, though; she’s become an unconvincing fascist parody, increasingly betraying herself in televised interviews, blushing at her own brazen idiocy. She’s faking it, and so are her tits.

Exhibit A: "Hi, I’m Ann Coulter."

Sentence: Most "controversial" statements redacted from "Exhibit A," as they’re a naked ploy for attention–-and Adam’s apple removed with a backhoe.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
